2018 Recruiting Thread

[yjnkdawg]

Here's the thing when you make recruiting a priority you can do both.

I agree, but why didn't you do that when you were our HC? (grins)

[yjnkdawg]

It is impossible if we recruit like the previous staff....The state of Georgia has 45 4 star or better players, which is more than the states of MS, Alabama and LA combined.....

Some of the previous staff didn't even know what recruiting was. It definitely wasn't "relentless effort" in recruiting.

Hey! You try training for a marathon and buying fancy tennis shoes while recruiting.**

Joe is all in on coaching football and MSU. And that includes recruiting too.

Well Brule is still in the mix, so that 0-4 ARK info never materialized. Did it?

So brule to state?

I like JoeMo's priorities. .....................................I guess some coaches just have to make a fashion statement when they are running in a marathon or go to Orlando to buy groceries.***

Latest on Robinson?

Checking out his profile, I see he is a .79 rated player. He is still the 6th best player in his state. The state of Kansas has 1 composite 4*. That is crazy to me. What Kansas state has accomplished is really impressive with that lack of in-state HS talent

They have done it with Jucos. Heavy into them.

No great news that?s for sure...we are still in the hunt for Brule and Lovett but Lovett really liked Florida. He said the academic facilities were much better there and he would be comfortable going there. I don?t think we can get our hopes up for Wednesday.....the real test is 2019

Lovett ain’t going to Florida dude

So brule to state?

I highly doubt that anyone is going to say where he is going right now. Different people have diffirent ideas, and some have more information than others, but I imagine if a decision has been made for certain it would be his family that knows right now. If somebody posted that he was going to MSU now, it probably would be like Shotgun's breaking news that he was committing to ARK the other night, with no factual information to substantiate that he was. It would have sounded more intelligent if he had said he heard or he thinks, but to say 0-4 to ARK was uncalled for and then some of ya'll run with this and go ballisitc in major meltdown mode. All I was saying was that he didn't committ to ARK the other night, and MSU is still in the picture. Let's just see how it plays out on signing day before we hold up the white flag.

I think people normally visit FL for vacation or fun. I believe this would be the case in this situation. Well, we aren't getting Eddie Smith unless Bama loses his fax number, but otherwise the sky is not necessarily falling, so let's just see how it plays out.

Lovett ain’t going to Florida dude

Yeah I don?t see him going to uf. Be us or unm. Sounds like we are in good shape with him though.

Agree that the real test is in 2019 but we have to get more than 15 SEC worthy players out of this class so what happens Wednesday is still a big deal. Like I've said before, overall I really like JoMo and for the most part this staff, however, the one red flag to me is how little of a bump we seem to be getting on these official visits. On the surface we don't seem to be making a significant impression on a lot of these guys based on the vibe I'm getting from their reactions afterward.

The fact that Smith hasn't committed to Bama makes me think he's still on the back-up board. They've done this plenty off times.

Why? Do we have the atmosphere of a funeral home?

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Brule is saying all the right things. We'll see if we can keep those feelings for 3 days. Lovett isn't going to Florida. Feel good about him being at MSU. Reed will be at MSU. Now we neee to sign 2 OL out of Jalan Robinson, Cameron Young, or Kameron Jones.

Saban could offer him a grayshirt and he'd go.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

No he wouldn't & he's said since December he wasn't announcing until signing day. Him not committing yet has 0 to do with whether he has an offer or not. He does.
